  Le roman qui a inspiré la série de Disney + !Josh Bell et son frère jumeau Jordan sont les stars de leur équipe de basket ball. Ils ont de qui tenir : leur père est un ancien joueur international, qui a arrêté prématurément sa carrière, mais qui demeure « Le Boss », une star aux états-Unis.
  Les deux frères sont inséparables et partagent la passion du basket. Josh adore l'anglais et le rap et manie les mots comme personne pour évoquer les moments importants de sa vie.
  Mais c'est à Jordan qu'Alexia, la nouvelle venue au lycée va s'intéresser. Jordan tombe amoureux et s'éloigne de son frère qui ne se fait pas à cet abandon soudain. Alors qu'il reporte toute son énergie sur le sport, il prend conscience de l'état de santé inquiétant de son père. Tous ses repères sont bouleversés.
  
  A mi-chemin entre le slam et le vers libre, Frères est un texte magnifique, délicat, poétique, extrêmement émouvant qui utilise avec finesse les règles du basket pour dire l'importance de la famille, de la loyauté, de l'amour et du libre arbitre.

  Like lightning/you strike/fast and free/legs zoom/down field/eyes fixed/on the checkered ball/on the goal/ten yards to go/can't nobody stop you/can't nobody cop you...
  
  Twelve-year-old Nick is a football-mad boy who absolutely hates books. In this follow-up to the Newbery-winning novel The Crossover, football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to navigate his parents' break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress the girl of his dreams. These challenges - which seem even harder than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal - change his life, as well as his best friend's. This energetic novel-in-verse by the poet Kwame Alexander captures all the thrills and setbacks, the action and emotion of a World Cup match.

  Black star : The door of no return 2

  The riveting second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Door of No Return trilogy stars Kofi's granddaughter, Charley, who's set on becoming the first female pitcher to play professional ball but who soon has to contend with the tensions about to boil over in her segregated town.
  
  You can't protect her from knowing. The truth is all we have.
  
  12-year old Charley Cuffey is many things: a granddaughter, a best friend, and probably the best pitcher in all of Lee's Mill. Set on becoming the first female pitcher to play professional ball, Charley doesn't need reminders from her best friend Cool Willie Green to know that she has lofty dreams for a Black girl in the American South.
  
  Even so, Nana Kofi's thrilling stories about courageous ancestors and epic journeys make it impossible not to dream big. She knows he has so many more to tell, but according to her parents, she isn't old enough to know about certain things like what happened to Booker Preston that one night in Great Bridge and why she can never play on the brand-new real deal baseball field on the other side of town.
  
  When Charley challenges a neighborhood bully to a game at the church picnic, she knows she can win, even with her ragtag team. But when the picnic spills over onto their ball field, she makes a fateful decision.
  
  A child cannot protect herself if she does not know her history, and Charley's choice brings consequences she never could have imagined.
  
  In this thrilling second book of the Door of No Return trilogy, set during the turbulent segregation era, and the beginning of The Great Migration, Kwame Alexander weaves a spellbinding story of struggle, determination, and the unflappable faith of an American family. Lire la suite Fermer
